Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

More info from OXM.............

1) It is taking testers 4 hours a day a good two weeks to get through the whole single-player game.

2) Online mode (Cops n Crooks) is designed to play like a scene from a crime movie. The Crook's mini map shows them their destination but how they get there is up to them. They just know that the fuzz is somewhere else in the city, en route to intercept them, so they have to hurry. Any one of the crooks can hop into the map with the START button, drop a waypoint on the goal line, and go back to watching for the law. The in-game GPS instantly maps (and recalculates) the best route for the team's get away.

What the crooks can't see on their GPS is the cops. By contrast, the police can see the bad guys on their radar, but they can't tell where the crooks are going (getaway point). If both teams are paying ayyention, every match becomes a shootout on wheels. All three passengers in a car can fire out the car windows, but the driver can also steer and shoot simultaneously.

3) Cops react to what you do online and police shootouts will occur.

4) Sounds like the time of day changes too online

5) Free Roam is one big sand box for us guys. The skys the limit!!!!

I am about ready to put a bib on because of drooling for this game

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Well, I don't have much time (worked midnights) but it was pretty much a extension of the information that we've already seen. They talked about their hands on time with the different modes. Free roam sounds like it is going to be awesome. They had a bunch of people gather up different vehicles and basically stockpile them all in one area and then launched rockets into the pile for some big time explosion fun Nothing different than what the OS crew is capable of when going online in this baby...........LOL

I'd give more info but I'm about ready to pass out.

It's always with the same old stockpiling(Crackdown,saintsrow)

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Can you tell me about free roam? Is it going to be where we can kill random people, get arrested, go itno bars, clubs etc...?


Thanks

Yes, sounds very much like there will be pedestrians online that can be killed. Not sure about AI traffic as far as vehicles but I'll go out on the limb and say it's there.

Also not sure about being able to go inside buildings. The article makes it sound like the single player and multiplayer experience in the city is seamless. What you can do in single player, can be done online. Don't know about coop missions.

I'm sure there's something that I'm missing in the article but I'm tired........ I hope what I have provided helps

I am sure everything will be in free roam that is on single playey except the missions. So if we want to run around and kill random people as in hamony we can. Man I can't imagine 14 of us online killing people just to have the cops try to track us all down.

Man vagina is dripping wet from reading the stuff yuou posted

thanks!

Direct quote from OXM..............

" As the sun came up, someone suggested driving over to Pier 45 - Liberty City's answer to NYC's South Street Seaport - and jumping in some helicopters for some aerial sightseeing. We met up across the water at Happiness Island - you know, where hopeful immigrants like Niko Bellic see the Statue of Happiness - for a little tour. And by "Tour", we mean, kill everybody in sight with the copter's machine guns and, when we disembark, get into knife fights with unarmed strangers."

"When we ran out of pedestrians to slaughter, we stole some nearby watercraft (speedboats, rubber rafts, and even a pokey yacht) and took to the high seas. "You guys are going to be target practice for me", warned one of the chopper pilots, to which we happily agreed. He wasn't that good a shot - and certainly, the player who saved his rocket launcher from earlier in the session was a better one; it took him only a few missles to bring the bird splashing down. We wrapped up the whole affair with a celabratory cop chase back on the mainland, pretty much proving that Free Roam mode is what you make of it."

Free internet play and a reliable system are more important to me.

The only way I get this on the 360 is if it looks that much better according to reviews. If it's like CoD4 that's even better.

The OS crowd meets up and plays a game for about a week.... and then...yeah...

You can run of out pedestriants?
I like that free roam is what you make of it, but I wish I knew if cops would come after you.... Doesn't sound like it from those quotes. =/

The game will be great on both systems, don't think you can go wrong either way.

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

I thought there was an option where the host could decide if he wanted cops in or not?

Dookie, I think they were referring to pedestrians that were near the Statue of Happiness, not the whole city. From what I read, the cops will come after you but they may have just failed to mention it during the whole helicopter assault scenario.

The whole stockpiling cars story and blowing them up was met with great displeasure by the cops and a gun battle ensued according to the article. No worries :wink:
